โœฆ Synopsis

Quality management is the umbrella under which quality assurance, quality improvement, and peer review reside. Although quality assurance monitors structure, process, and outcomes, quality improvement strives to continually improve care. Ongoing communication among team members and utilization of ancillary resources facilitates an effective quality management program in obstetric (OB) triage. This article describes the components of an OB triage quality management program and its relationship to risk management.
